A bit too silly and special effects driven. TheCrownless Send a noteboard - 14/12/2012 11:10:48 PM
The giants fighting was silly, the Goblin king was too overblown, Azog wasn't scary in the slightest (Gothmog was so much better) and the chase scenes dragged on to the point of tedium.

And the bunny-rabbit sleigh? Give me a ****ing break...


Saying that, Riddles in the Dark is one of the great pieces of cinema and the film as a whole was great. More selective editing and allowing WETA to do their thing with prosthetics more often would have made it a 10/10 as I loved all the lore stuff (even if it was fiddled with) but as it is it's a 7.5/10.
Come to the dark side, We have candy!

I'm Israel, he's Palestine, its more fun when you pick sides.

I wouldn't call it a rash - more like chafing. - 14/12/2012 04:36:42 PM 1434 Views
Ouch - comparing it to Crystal Skull? *NM* - 15/12/2012 02:02:00 AM 697 Views

I think two words have killed this movie for me: "orc nemesis" - 15/12/2012 02:00:33 AM 1427 Views
To be fair, it's an orc nemesis from the books. - 15/12/2012 07:23:16 PM 1455 Views
Wait are we talking about Azog here? - 16/12/2012 01:08:11 AM 1432 Views
Looks like it. - 16/12/2012 12:19:19 PM 1343 Views
There was not an orc nemesis in the books - 16/12/2012 01:55:59 PM 1289 Views
